Easy mushroom risotto

If you are thinking of preparing a easy mushroom risotto, you can always use a basic recipe, without complications. So the risotto has to have a broth base that will be one of the basic essences for a round dish. The broth is always preferable to make it homemade and for this we can use one of vegetables or chicken. We will have to add it little by little so that the rice is left with that very creamy touch.

Finally, in addition to the mushrooms or mushrooms that we will add, we have to finish the dish with a little butter and Parmesan cheese. Remember also that these types of dishes are made with a special rice called arborio. Of course, if you find him, you can always use the so-called bomba rice. Why? Well, because it is a coarser grain that is usually more absorbent.

So if we want a juicy result, it is always better to use this type of rice. What we do not recommend is long grain rice, because it can pass us and spoil our plate. What we need is that each grain is consistent. Another of the little tricks is that when adding the broth or the wine they always have to be very hot. They seem like small details but they are the main ones to finish a plate ten.
